I discovered them in 1987 and used them on a project then. I always keep a supply around. I have found that they require more force to draw down, and seem to be physically stronger. I believe the ones I have used are made by Marston. In the 3/16 diameter they can get pretty tiresome with a hand setter. I have a pnuematic riveter. They work very well.
